RE: recovering a corrupt repository

You say "no matter what command I run on the repository I get that error

message. I am running svn 1.1.2 on Windows 2000 Server"

Does this include the following commands:
        svnadmin recover
        svnadmin dump

As far as I see it, you have three options for recovery listed from
least painful to most:
1. recovery - svnadmin recover
2. go to a backup
3. reconstitution - svnadmin dump > to file, make new repos, svnadmin
load from file

I haven't yet seen recovery fail in my environment. It takes somewhere
between 20 minutes and 16 hours for my db and has been between one and
two hours for the past 5 times it has happened.

Subject: recovering a corrupt repository
Earlier I sent a message out with a problem of a corrupted repository.  
I have since created a fresh repository because we need to continue 
development and I don't know how long it will be before I can fix it.  
What are some things I can try to recover the db?  The error message I 
got was:
svn: Berkeley DB error while checkpointing after Berkeley DB transaction
for filesystem /svn/repository/db:
Invalid argument
svn: bdb: DB_ENV->log_flush: LSN of 2699/250148 past current end-of-log 
of 2699/
214302
svn: bdb: Database environment corrupt; the wrong log files may have 
been remove
d or incompatible database files imported from another environment
svn: bdb: strings: unable to flush page: 0
svn: bdb: txn_checkpoint: failed to flush the buffer cache Invalid
argument
no matter what command I run on the repository I get that error 
message.  I am running svn 1.1.2 on Windows 2000 Server.  I get this 
when using command line locally as well as remotely through apache
webDAV.
I really don't want to lost our 260 revisions of history.  Any Ideas?
TIA,
-Ben
